Solving a Delta Connected Induction Machine Homework Problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a homework problem involving a delta-connected induction machine with specific motor ratings. The calculations for the starting current (I_S) and rotor current (I_R) yield values of 62.1 A and 57.5 A, respectively, while the calculated gap power (P_gap) is 3967.5 W, leading to a torque (T) of 63.14 Nm. There is uncertainty regarding the line side current, with a proposed equation suggesting it may relate to the phase current (I_ph). Clarification is sought on whether I_ph corresponds to I_S or I_R. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying the phase current in relation to the line side current calculation.

Homework Statement



A \Delta connected induction machine is to start from a source of 480V, 60 Hz.

The motor ratings are :

4 poles, \Delta connected, 480V, 60 Hz, X_{ls}\,=\,X_{lr}\,=\,4\,\Omega, X_m\,=\,50\,\Omega, R_s\,=\,0.25\,\Omega, R_r\,=\,0.4\,\Omega.

Find the current in the windings and the torque of the motor and the current at the line side.


Homework Equations



I_S\,=\,\frac{V_{l-l}}{\left(R_s\,+\,j\,X_{ls}\right)\,+\,\left(j\,X_m\,||\,R_r\,+\,j\,X_{lr}\right)}

I_R\,=\,I_S\,\frac{j\,X_m}{R_r\,+j\,X_{lr}\,+\,j\,X_m}

P_{gap}\,=\,n_{ph}\,|I_R|^2\,\left(\frac{R_r}{s}\right)

Where n_{ph} is number of stator phases.

T\,=\,3\,\frac{P_{gap}}{\omega_s}\,\frac{p}{2}

Where p is number of poles.

The above equations are not given explicitly anywhere, but an example uses them so I think they are right.



The Attempt at a Solution



At starting, s = 1.

I_S\,=\,\frac{480}{\left(0.25\,+\,j\,4\right)\,+\,\left(j\,50\,||\,0.4\,+\,j\,4\right)}\,=\,62.1^{\angle\,-85.6^{\circ}}

I_R\,=\,\left(62.1^{\angle\,-85.6^{\circ}}\right)\,\frac{j\,50}{0.4\,+j\,4\,+\,j\,50}\,=\,57.5^{\angle\,-85.2^{\circ}}

P_{gap}\,=\,(3)\,(57.5)^2\,(0.4)\,=\,3967.5

T\,=\,3\,\left(\frac{3967.5}{377}\right)\,\left(\frac{0.4}{1}\right)\,=\,63.14\,Nm

Does that look right? How do I get the current at the line side?

I found an equation that will possibly give line side current...

I_{line}\,=\,\sqrt{3}\,I_{ph}

But what is I_{ph}? Is it I_S or I_R?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
